Group: SPC Play Group

Hi everybody,

The SPC is now open.

Submit up to three photos before 22:00 London time, 31 August.

Please check the rules, especially section 2 with details on how to upload by email.

You must include your ipernity name in the email message, otherwise we will not know who sent the photo, (the sender's address is not shown).

If your archives are missing a suitable photo, you have until the end of the month, giving you time to take new photos for the contest, because you must not use any photos already in your ipernity gallery.

If you see a photo and think the moderator has made a mistake to include it, especially if you are the winner who chose the theme. Please send a message to Iper SPC with your opinion, and do not raise your concern in public.

Good luck

Congratulations to Paolo on a very well deserved win, - a beautiful image.
My congratulations also to Steve and Gudrun on their very worthy second and third place wins.I would have been delighted to have taken any one of these images!!
Well done and many thanks to all participants on an excellent set of entries, and thank you for voting.

Bravi amici del podio e sopratutto a Paolo il vincitore!
Cerca di partorire un bel tema!
Un cordiale saluto a tutto il gruppo e state in salute!
Mariagrazia

Ecco il tema per il prossimo SPC 9/2020
backlight - rétroéclarage - soggetto in controluce
prego di non usare un tramonto per questo tipo di immagine dove il soggetto deve essere illuminato da dietro.
Una nave, una barca, windsurf,una persona, un fiore ecc. sono soggetti adatti anche se ripresi al tramonto, meglio se il sole non viene inquadrato.

Will someone volunteer to moderate the SPC from now on?

toccava a me Rob, il senso del dovere è prevalente !

Ciao Rob,scusa ma non ci siamo capiti : io intendevo dire che (essendomi accorto di essere 1° nel SPC 8/2020 ) ho pensato di lanciare un tema per il prossimo mese.
Sono molto onorato per la tua stima e fiducia, ma so di non essere in grado di svolgere il compito di moderatore per scarsa competenza informatica e per insufficiente conoscenza della la lingua inglese.
il senso del dovere l'ho detto perchè i tempi per aprire il nuovo gioco erano stretti .
l'intervento della Brocca mi ha aiutato a rileggere le nostre scritture e capire che parlavamo di due cose diverse .
Ciao, Paolo.

Congratulations for another win Paolo and also to Steve and Gudrun on your 2nd & 3rd places. Thanks too Carol for a great theme. Lots of fine imaginative photos employed here.
We will see what the next competition brings. Ah just seen it is 'Backlight'. Great!

Herb

Paolo has accepted the moderating duties and now has access to the account.
Please excuse the misunderstanding.

Rob

Does he know how to do it? I don't remember it anymore, sorry.

Wheels are in motion. Please be patient for a delayed start.

Let me suggest spreading the load of the various moderating tasks.

Renaming the photos in the account at the end of contest - Roger has the data.

Volunteers required for the following. Reply here or by ipermail as you prefer.
1) Delete the contributions of last contest from the group, ready for the new submissions.
2) Create new discussion, it is easy enough to copy / paste / edit the top of this one.

Other 'end of contest' tasks not yet done.
3) Edit this discussion to have the winner's photo at the top, (shorten discussion title, unpin it).
4) Add winning photo to 'Winners' discussion.
5) Add photos to SPC podium group.
6) Create album for closed contest, in results finishing order.

Mi scuso, ma non sono riuscita a votare, proprio tecnicamente

@Adriana: Of course an occasional missed vote is excusable - no problem.

As you all may have noticed, thanks to Roger, the photo titles have been updated.

But without volunteers to share the load, the SPC will close.

What do you mean with share the load, Rob?

Sarebbe un peccato buttare tutto, per me questo è il più bel contest perchè
è anonimo e ognuno di noi vota la foto e poi a giochi fatti..... scopri a chi appartiene.
Io sono convinta che Daniela potrebbe provare....lei è il mago della tastiera e
conosce le lingue, pensa Daniela che arriva l'inverno e questo potrebbe essere un bel
passatempo.....pensaci
Un caro saluto a tutti....resto speranzosa
Mariagrazia

Io non ho capito niente, primo.Secondo , è parecchio che non mi occupo più dei giochi e non ricordp proprio come si fa. Avevo chiesto già almeno un anno fa se non di più che qualcuno che lo sa fare me lo scrivesse passo per passo ma non ho mai ricevuto nulla.
E comunque già da Panoramio io ho sempre lavorato un sacco, sarebbe ora che si offrisse qualcun altro. Non ho bisogno di passatempi, neanche riesco a leggere tanto quanto leggevo prima.

E' veramente un peccato perchè tu Daniela saresti perfetta conosci tutte le lingue e sicuramente chi di dovere ti spiegherebbe.....comunque hai ragione anche tu se non hai il tempo....pensaci.
Io non sono in grado ma nel gruppo qualcuno come te e Benf adeguati ci sarà.......mah speriamo
Ti saluto caramente

Is it fair that a single monthly moderator should do all the work, every month? I developed a far too complicated system, and have chosen to do the tasks each month - on top of the many hours on ipernity programming and support on the ima team. With only franco able to take over if I have a holiday.

I am disappointed with what I see here as a general attitude of, "Oh, somebody else will do it", with excuses about time, language, technical ability. So, realy, is there no one prepared to volunteer for the simple task of creating a new discussion this month, based on the previous. So contact me, be promoted to moderator within the group.

The updating the Winner's discussion, and the podium group, again these are basic tasks using ipernity features available to a group moderator. So volunteer, or let them be neglected.

If nothing happens with the above, there will be no need to decide how to share the more technical tasks, and access to the account for approving submitted photos. No need for a voting machine as shown this time. Vote counting is entirely feasible by hand.

I can understand how you feel Rob. You have been so helpful in the past and steered me through the complexity (in my view) of the site. Unfortunately I too will use the excuse - lack of technical ability.

Just to reiterate I am willing to help but simply cannot do everything that Rob did I simply do not have the time, Photo title updating and vote counting is fine but other parts are not for me I'm afraid.

Thanks for your availability Roger, as administrator there is the possibility to do something to continue this game, hoping that there may be some other volunteers.
Of course, always under Rob's supervision.

Ma speriamo Franco, io resto dell'idea che le persone più "capaci" in tutto
siate Tu e la Daniela, avete tanta esperienza che vi portate dietro ancora
da Panoramio , buonanima. .....
Un caro saluto a Te e al gruppo
Mariagrazia

I take this opportunity to remind you that voting for the CWP closes on the 24th.

Ma Mariagrazia, non sempre la gente può fare quello che faceva prima. Dopo tanti anni, poi.

Ma questo mese il gioco non c'è?

Hai ragione Daniela.
Il gioco non c'è più....
Salutoni
